Overcoming Resilience
Resilience can become a disadvantage when you lack the right tools, knowledge, or support to use it effectively. In those instances, delegation or other practical tactics might prove more beneficial.
Why Delegation Matters
Rather than pushing through every challenge by sheer will, consider passing off certain responsibilities—especially if they drain your energy. Even if you’re capable of completing a task yourself, it may be more efficient to involve others when possible. An outside perspective or a helping hand might open up new ways to tackle the larger challenge.
Some Questions to Ask
- Which of my daily tasks can benefit from help from another person or professional?
- Does mastering this task align with my long-term objectives, or is it leading me away from what truly matters?
- Do I need to look beyond the concept of strength and resilience to find the solution I am looking for?
When used in the right context, resilience is an invaluable asset. However, the best way to channel resilience varies widely among individuals, and its form may need to evolve based on the situation.
Beyond Resilience
- Flexibility: Stay open to shifting methods and unconventional solutions.
- Meditation: Experiment with different techniques to enhance focus and clarity over time.
- Relaxation: Use relaxation to replenish energy, spark creativity, and see the bigger picture.
When applied thoughtfully, resilience remains a powerful ally. Yet what works for one person may need adjustment for another. In some cases, remembrance can help: keep a written or visual record of past successes that relied on resilience. Even if incomplete, such a record might serve as a stepping stone.
